Ziktor wants to destroy all books that teach about solar energy. He starts with Mr. Reese's bookmobile, as a way of getting at J.B.

The boys win the first round of the tournament, but join Kaitlin between rounds to take on The Eliminator who is attacking the Central Library.

In Ziktor's tower, Ziktor decides to turn the Troopers against each other. He sends a smug played by Crispin Alapag to the Dojo disguised as a martial arts student who spars with J.B., transferring to him an electrical charge that, in turn, is delivered to Kaitlin. The charge changes their personalities. J.B. picks a fight with Ryan and Kaitlin encourages J.B. Ryan is stunned at the change. Troubled, Ryan talks to Jeb who agrees to accompany him to the Underground to confront Kaitlin. At the paper, Jeb causes trouble for Percy; Kaitlin tells Ryan they are no longer friends. However, she will give him her car to fly to a friend and meet with J.B. Once there, Ryan and Jeb discover they've been set up: they fight skugs and flee in the car, enduring Polarbot's weaponry fire on the ground and in the air. The boy and dog discover J.B. and Kaitlin are firing on them, too, from the mother ship. Landing at the lab, Ryan manages to trap Kaitlin and J.B. in an electronic field. He leaves to defeat Polarbot--an act that will return his friends to him. Inadvertently, Jeb frees the two evil Troopers. Ryan fights J.B., Kaitlin and the Polarbot in order to win back his friends.

J.B. spars with Ryan in an effort to relax before taking a test to qualify for a scholarship. When sparring fails to work, J.B. tries to relax in the park. Skugs attack him and draw him into the BattleGrid where they administer the Metamorphosis Pulse -- a weapon designed to gradually change humans into virtual mutants. Professor Hart informs Kaitlin and Ryan that J.B. is under Grimlord's influence. As one of Grimlord's mutants, J.B. forgets who he really is and fights other mutants for position. Grimlord sends the mutant J.B. to fight Ryan, as Kaitlin works with the Professor to recover their fallen Trooper. Ryan manages to save J.B.'s life and, as the Transmutant, J.B. fights by Ryan's side and defeats the other mutants. At the lab, J.B. regains his human form just in time to take the test -- an exam about which he's no longer worried. His experience in the Virtual World has allowed him to put the scholarship in proper perspective.
